A newly obtained report for the Canadian military is setting off alarm bells across the country, among defence experts and throughout our peace network. We need to act quickly.
Five years after affirming his support for a nuclear-weapon-free world, President Barack Obama has approved a secret ten-year extension of the U.S. nuclear cooperation agreement with the United Kingdom.
Former deputy minister of National Defence Charles “Buzz” Nixon is calling on the Harper government to abandon its purchase of a new fleet of fighter jets and revise Canada’s entire defence posture.
Dogged by controversy, criticism, and endless setbacks in its effort to buy new fighter aircraft, the Harper government is reportedly hitting the pause button on the process while it ponders whether to proceed with the purchase of Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II without holding a competition.
Michael Byers’ latest report One Dead Pilot, shows that the government will expose Royal Canadian Air Force pilots to unnecessary risks to life and limb should it hold firm on its commitment to buy the F-35.
